Smiths Falls releases first Annual Report in a number of years

Victoria Basin is just one part of town that is seeing significant growth thanks to the arrival of LeBoat and government funding for improvements to local infrastructure.

Smiths Falls has released it's first annual report in a number of years. The old tradition was revived this year in an effort to document the boom that’s gripping the town.

Town CAO Malcolm Morris told Lake 88 News, it was also released to give a peek into the future, to some extent.

Morris said, "The impetus behind it really was that there is so much activity occurring in Smiths Falls, council felt it was important to document, and take stock quite frankly, of what we've accomplished as a council and as a community over the last year and also to take a glimpse into the future in terms of some of the big ticket items."

The CAO says it tells a story of what's happening in Smiths Falls.

Morris adds the report is a way to capture what the town has accomplished and it can also be used as a marketing tool.
